Tight transitions are ~everything~ these days, whether it’s a TikTok video, Instagram reel, or seasonal piece of clothing. As hard as it is to imagine, fall is practically right around the corner (tear!). To ensure you have a smooth transition this season, check out my top 5 Summer Box items that are ideal for any time of the year.
1. I don’t know about you, but as the weather changes, my skin does too. To make up for the time I spend in the sun, you’ll find me using the ELEMIS Superfood Midnight Facial Cream. But this nourishing overnight cream has an all-seasons pass to my bathroom counter—it moisturizes and replenishes thanks to a combination of cocoa butter and vitamin C-filled camu camu—perfect for keeping all skin types hydrated—even as the weather gets cooler and dryer.
2. Out and about, I’ll be taking my Free People Distressed Vegan Wallet straight from summer patios to fall coffee shops. The neutral tan brown colour makes it a classic summer to fall transition piece. With the attached wrist strap, it’s as if it was designed with those post-patio walks and late summer night adventures in mind! And the wrist strap is equally handy (or should I say hands-free) for those quick coffee runs in the fall when you’re juggling a wet umbrella, hat, and scarf, all while desperately trying not to spill your (much-needed) hot bevy. When you’re on the go, summer or fall, the last thing you want to be doing is lugging around a heavy purse or tote. With six slots for cards and a separate compartment for everyday must-haves, everything you need will literally be in the palm of your hand (well, around your wrist), any time of year!
3. When summer is over according to the calendar, that doesn’t mean shaving is over too! You’ll still catch me in t-shirts and cut-offs well into the fall. Check out the Kensie Radiant Shaver—it’s electric, water-resistant, and perfect for travel. Designed to be used in or out of the shower, you won’t have to worry if you’ve missed a spot when you’re running out the door! And if you’re planning a winter getaway to a tropical destination, you’ll be all set and ready to go with this baby!
4. My love of wine isn’t seasonal. Is yours? That’s why I’ll be carrying my Swig Life Stemless Wine Cup (12oz) in Shimmer Rose Gold straight from the pool to the fire pit for the cooler autumn season. The aesthetic, dishwasher safe stemless wine cup keeps drinks cold for 9+ hours and, transitioning into the cooler months, it keeps hot beverages toasty warm for 3+ hours.

5. The last thing I want is for my tan to fade with the setting summer sun. That’s why you’ll find me keeping my Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Butter front and centre on my bathroom counter. This self-tanning butter is comparable to body lotion—you can use it in place of your usual body moisturizer and reapply as often as needed (score!). Better yet, the ultra-hydrating gradual self-tanner is specially formulated for all skin tones. Plus, it leaves your skin with an instant illuminated finish. It’s fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and most importantly, luxurious—infused with a natural blend of coconut, eucalyptus, chia seed, peppermint oils, avocado, and vitamin E to hydrate, lock in moisture, and prevent dry skin—perfect whether your skin is dry from too much time in the sun, or feeling parched as we shift into the cooler months. Here’s hoping your transition is seamless this season!
